Well, the feeding tube went in. I'll give you the doctor's speil,"he will hopefully gain more weight and get more nutrition this way." Mommy's speil, "Get that darn thing out of my precious baby!"
Either way, he's doing much better than his parents. We've had a couple rough days, but I think we're finally getting the hang of it. We are having a hard time not over feeding him. Mckinley is certainly a trooper.
Emma is doing just fine and we're trying to prepare her for the upheaval in the next month. How do you really prepare a 2 year old?! She's just fine and so outgoing it kills me, and what a flirt! This kid will have to be locked up by the time she's 13!
Now I am beginning to know what parents mean when they say, you just get through it. It's a daily struggle, but the best wins out.
We had a birthday party for my mom this past weekend, fun was had by all. Uncle "Pony" was Emma's playmate, Thanks Tony! I'm sure it could have been a much different outcome!
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I'll keep in touch
